E ven today, the Porsche 356 Speedster looks spartan, not to mention a bit sinister. That was the intention, however. Famed importer Max Hoffman insisted Porsche build something different for the American market, something that youthful enthusiasts would drive during the week and race during the weekends.

The Speedster, with its low windscreen and minimalist dashboard, and its absence of amenities, was a hit with the car crowd and remains a hit today with motoring enthusiasts. Although more powerful cars from Europe and the U.S. were available, the lightweight Speedster was different in the way it handled and performed.

Introduced in 1954, the Porsche 356 Speedster remained in production until 1959. These fascinating little roadsters are especially popular today in historic racing events around the world. Highly tunable and relatively easy to maintain, they are what all Porsches were meant to be – a blast to own.

Expect to pay more than $80,000 for a genuine Porsche 356 Speedster in fine condition. On the other hand, there are some impressive imitations being produced for a fraction of the cost. -Larry Sanata
